New text analysis tools by Lingenio and Canoo: The two companies strengthened their existing collaboration and integrated Lingenio’s French dictionary into Canoo’s LanguageTools technology.

Customers can now use the Canoo LanguageTools with a uniform interface for the four languages German, English, Italian, and French. These tools are integrated in Canoo Find-it. They map words onto their base form and classify them as noun, verb, adjective, etc.

NZZ online articles are now presented with up to four links to articles with related content (in the section “Mehr zum Thema” at the bottom of the article body), as in this example.

By means of an elaborate semantic analysis of the articles’ content, Find-it is able to generate these article links automatically. In addition, it is possible for the NZZ editors to add article links manually, as needed.

In October 2012, Canoo and the German publishing house Mittelrhein-Verlag Mittelrhein-Verlag (Koblenz) established a strategic partnership. The publisher integrated our Search & Analysis Suite Canoo Find-it into their proprietary mobile editorial system red.web, as a seamlessly integrated plugin. With this plugin, red.web offers its customers a range of additional functions which support editors to find articles more efficiently, to filter incoming agency reports, to subscribe to specific topics and so forth. These functions quickly attracted significant interest from customers. Yesterday, this productive collaboration moved one step further, as the publisher is going to use Find-it for their own large regional newspaper Rhein-Zeitung. “Our intention with this software is firstly to support our editors in their everyday work and secondly to provide our readers with plenty of benefits too”, said Siegmund Radtke, publishing director of Mittelrhein-Verlag. Detailed information on this topic can be found in the official press release from red.web.

The publisher is going to integrate Canoo Find-it in red.web and offer it to its customers as an optinal plugin. Find-it automatically assigns relevant keywords to all texts in the editorial system and thereby creates an intuitive and consistent structure across the entire range of texts: articles, agency reports, emails, office documents, images, etc.

There are multiple benefits for red.web customers: significant workflow support for their journalists and editorial management, and new attractive options for their news site.
